Note
This recipe is not vegan as written due to the honey. To make it vegan, substitute the honey with an equal amount of agave nectar or maple syrup.
For a milder onion flavor, soak the diced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before draining and adding it to the dressing.
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The flavors will intensify over time.
This dressing works well as a marinade for tofu or chicken, or as a dipping sauce for spring rolls.
